Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) Play Streaming

It ought to sink from the weight of the cargo, but it's buoyed by another high-wire performance from Depp.. Although there are memorable bits and pieces, the new Pirates of the Caribbean is a movie with no particular interest in coherence, economy or feeling.. It's too long, unnecessarily complicated and often silly, but Gore Verbinski's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is still the purest popcorn entertainment of the summer.. The new plot has all the appeal of a seaweed sandwich, bein...

The Descent (2005) Online Streaming

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen feels overly busy, unwieldy and hollow.. Ill-conceived, sloppily directed, shoddily acted, LXG looks like the work of a confederacy of dunces.. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen just plain reeks.. This intermittently effective UK horror thriller carefully establishes the psychological relationships among the women, then squanders this calibrated and generally plausible setup with a series of crude, implausible, and scattershot horror effects.. Working on...

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010) Online Streaming

The animation is first-rate, with moments of genuine visual imagination, and the story, while unremarkable, is entirely adequate.. The 3-D effects are standard, the children and the prince are a bit bland, and Michael Apted's direction veers into listlessness, but there is, at times, a pleasing elegance to the production, too. It doesn't assault you.. A film which, if not truly sophisticated, isn't nearly as crude as advertised.. This picture... mostly plays like a perfunctory cross between wate...

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) Full Movie Streaming

George Lucas had lost his way for many years, gone to filmmaking's dark side. But now he's mustered up completely unexpected reserve for a last-minute redemption.. Revenge of the Sith might be tolerable if it weren't designed to be taken seriously.. But for all the clanking armies of iron knights on display to dazzle the eager kid in each of us, this summer epic rings hollow. There's no one home inside the suit.. Lucas is a brilliant technician but a poor philosopher, and his lurchingly thought-...

Thor: The Dark World (2013) Download Movie

This action-adventure sequel from Marvel soon turns so dumb and 3-D-murky that it hurts.. It's like a smorgasbord designed to give fans all they can eat -- or a roadside 24-hour buffet that clocks in, blessedly, at a mere two hours. Its welcoming air and variety can't fully disguise its lack of top-notch ingredients.. Dancing above a leaden plot and lumpy dialogue, Mr. Hiddleston moves his fine-boned features and graceful body, as if what he were doing matters; he seems imported from a quite dif...

Hanna (2011) Watch Full Movie

This J.V. "Salt" is effective only for a few minutes at a time, in some occasionally ripping action scenes set to a vivid Chemical Brothers score.. Saoirse Ronan is a talented young actress who tends to be better than the movies she's in. And that tendency holds true with "Hanna," an unsteady thriller that staggers when it should sprint.. Hanna is far from perfect but, courtesy of star Saoirse Ronan and director Joe Wright, it's one of those imperfect pictures that manages to command and hold ou...

The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) Download Movie

This is one of those rare instances when a sequel wouldn't just be warranted - it would be welcomed.. It's got all the ingredients - improbable romances, partial nudity, ridiculous escapes - that make it little more than big-sound and big-picture fodder for the Imax screens it will appear on throughout the country.. This is like an Austin Powers movie directed by Wes Anderson, although Ritchie's personal style is very much in evidence.. A lot of energy and effort has gone into this endeavor, and...
